Tens of thousands of people displaced by conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo are in urgent need of emergency aid.
The call comes from the international medical charity, Médecins Sans Frontières, which says informal camps surrounding the eastern city of Goma have seen a mass influx in recent days due to the continued violence between M23 rebels and the Congolese army.
The camps already host thousands of displaced people from previous rounds of fighting.
Overcrowding combined with heavy rainfall has increased the prevalence of water-borne diseases and respiratory infections in the camps.
Volunteers in Congo say the lack of food is of serious concern.
